    I think this is the best way to sum up this year's team.

    I could see us getting hot toward the end of the season and making a deep run in the playoffs.

    But I wouldn't be all that surprised If we made the playoffs and were swept in the first rd.

    It's frustrating coming off the year we had last season but it is what it is at this point.

    The current team is not going to make the playoffs. It needs 2 future first picks to improve the rosters or need a new young coach. I bet Kings coach is better than MDA this year.

    Chriss/Melo/pick for Wizards Morris via 3rd team
    Nene/pick for Justin Holiday straight up.

    Nobody is interested in rockets new acquired players this year.

    15-16 vibes all over again

    we’re just not that good...bottom 10 defense, can’t rebound, can’t shoot, and EG and CP3 looking way worse than last year with the “it’s early” excuse no longer being a valid one

    this team will do absolutely nothing of significance...last year was our shot

    I heard that when we score more points than the opponent after 4 quarters, the Rockets win 100% of the time.

    Kings budget is 101 million payroll this year. At this moment, they spent $90 million. They can add someone as good as Gordon and make the playoffs.
    Pelicans, Wolves and Mavs have more valuable young assets to improve the rosters.

    If the bench plays like they did last night Rockets can beat anyone. They hardly missed a shot and rebounded and played defense with a lot of much needed intensity. Let's see how they do tomorrow night against the Lakers.

    Durant said “hell yeah im worried about Houston as the 8th seed...” on Bill Simmons podcast today.

    I’d say Durant has more optimism for Houston than clutchfans does.

    This is my bold statement.

    If Tilman is willing to pay luxury tax for all of Knight salaries, this team can beat 13 teams in the west by offering 2 unprotected Firsts for 2 rotation players.

    LOL i just cant see it.... to me a lot of this has to do with cp3. hopefully its just some lingering injuries causing this poor play that will eventually heal and not age. if he gets back to the level of last year then yes, the rockets can play with anyone.

    Thanks!

    I also see you continuing to be delusional in acting like there is nothing wrong with this team no matter how many more embarrassing losses we endure.

    Am I still doing great at seeing the future?
